Aluminum Pipe and Square for Boat Building
Almost all aluminum and aluminum alloys are used in ships and marine facilities. The main types of aluminum materials are: thick aluminum plates, thin aluminium plates, aluminum strips, aluminum pipes, aluminum bars, stiffened aluminum plate,etc. The main tempers are : O, H14, H112, H34, H32, H116, H117, H111, T1, T5, T6, T61, F, etc.
Aluminum pipe tube is widely used in the shipbuilding industry, mainly for hull structures, piping systems, and equipment brackets. Due to its light weight and corrosion resistance, it can effectively reduce the weight of ships, improve navigation speed and fuel economy. Aluminum alloy pipes also have good seawater corrosion resistance and are suitable for ship cooling systems and seawater pump filtration systems.
Marine grade 6xxx aluminum alloys are mainly used to produce extruded profiles, and their representative alloys are AA6061 alloy (mainly used in the United States and Canada) and AA6082 alloy (mainly used in European countries). AA6082 alloy is a common light structural material in Europe and is widely used in transportation vehicles and general industry.
The application range of marine aluminum profiles is very wide, including hull structure, deck, hatch, mast and other ship equipment. The aluminum extrusions can be used for various types of ships, including passenger ships, cargo ships, oil tankers, warships, yachts, etc. In ship construction, the use of ship aluminum profiles like aluminum square stock can greatly shorten the construction period and reduce the overall shipbuilding cost.
Aluminum alloy profiles have obvious advantages in hardness, corrosion resistance, rust resistance, fatigue strength, plasticity, welding performance, etc. Due to the particularity of the use environment and equipment requirements, in the aluminum processing industry, the requirements for aluminum alloy profiles used in marine equipment are much higher than those for ordinary civilian aluminum alloy profiles. For this reason, the entry threshold of aluminum alloy profiles in the marine equipment market is relatively high.
Haomei Aluminum’s aluminum profiles has got the certifications of main Classification Societies like DNV, ABS, LR,etc. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.
